LB PLUS - Das Magazin der LB GMBH "Spezial"

With its headquarters in Borken-Weseke,
Lanfer Automation is a leading company when
it comes to individual solutions for automation
and switch cabinet manufacture, and that
throughout Germany. In an interesting lecture
and brief films Marcus Kuhlmann demonstrates
what the experts from Borken can do.
Industrial automation
fast, reliable and professional
Lanfer Automation is able to draw on experience
and skill built up over many years for the
planning, design and realisation of complete
and complex automation solutions in all areas.
"We are able to cover the complete spectrum
in electrical engineering and always adapt to
your individual needs," explains Markus Kuhlmann.
The expert knows that a higher level of
profitability as a result of optimised processes
is in greater demand than ever before and the
logical consequence of Lanfer Automation's
work
Building automation -recognizing and exploiting
the potential for savings
in your building
It started with a vision which came into
Managing Director Alfred Lanfer's mind a few
years ago and refused to go away: an intelligent
building that uses IT solutions to direct
the focus to what is important whilst saving
energy. "Nowadays our
company
headquarters
in Borken
has been modernised appropriately and is the
best possible demonstration of what can be
achieved through building automation," says
Kuhlmann. The conference room, for example,
can be booked virtually, and when in use the
temperature is optimised through heating in
the winter and cooling in the summer.
"Sensors - and this is what is special about it
- inform the air conditioning, heating, lighting
and shade systems so that they ensure an optimal
climate and perfect lighting conditions
in the room," explains Markus Kuhlmann. The
data is collected so that after only a short time
the first graphs of requirements are available
and maintenance tasks can be identified at an
early stage. The conference rooms in Borken-Weseke
are also equipped with illuminated
door handles so that one can tell from outside
whether a room is occupied or free. "The potential
for savings in energy consumption and
time management are obvious and of interest
to many of our, and perhaps also to your, customers,"
Kuhlmann asserts.
The linking of the individual trades with
one another is a completely distinctive feature
brought about by Lanfer Automation's staff.
Intralogistics The basis for an optimal flow
of goods
Good, satisfactory logistics
proceed from a
smooth flow of goods.
"For that the individual
processes
must coordinate
perfectly with
one another, and we achieve this through tailor-made
solutions," says Kuhlmann. "We are
a reliable partner and guarantee tailor-made
systems for the decisive processes." With their
carefully trained eye, the experts at Lanfer Automation
identify potential for improvement,
plan and realise the automation process.
Energy monitoring - detect and remedy
weak areas
Says Markus Kuhlmann, "The fourth, and
still very new, pillar of Lanfer Automation is
so-called energy monitoring. Through this we
are reacting to current developments: energy
prices are rising and nobody can afford or
wants to waste energy." By means of software
which analyses the energy consumption within
a company, the consumption of individual
machines or whole plants can be recorded in
detail.
"The aim is to introduce optimisation measures
based on the results of the monitoring.
This software is definitely of interest for a wide
range of potential customers, such as local municipalities,
businesses, industry and the housing
industry.
Businesses in particular are taking a closer
look at the topic of "saving energy"," the expert
explains.
